Injuries continue to loom over San Marcos’ heads but the Lady Rattlers continue to put together strong outings by utilizing its youth to pick up wins.
Senior guard Kayla Presley continued to battle an ankle injury on Friday, coming off of the bench for the second game in a row — not a familiar spot for a 1,000-point club member. The same went for senior Faith Phillips, who started but was limited to 15 minutes. Although the team’s leaders in minutes played relaxed, their teammates put on a show in a 76-46 routing of Del Valle (6-12, 1-9 district) at home.
Even with the win, junior guard Adelia Pierson seemed to have some pain in her back while freshman guard Bailey Guzman suffered a cut beneath her eye, which she battled through from the second quarter on. After a 2-1 week for the purple and white, nothing is more important than the rest period in between games.
